I do own all the services that Videotron provides:
- Internet (7Mps)
- Phone
- TV (2 x EDP)
- 2 x Cellphones.
So far, happy with the service and support.
The only complaint that I would have is with the Superclub Videotron partners.
They don't have sufficient knowledge and the sale and support isn't what we should expect from Videotron.
Had to return 2 cellphones before doing my research on the WEB myself for a new one...

High speed internet (cable) 1mbps up, 8mbps down. 50 Mbps/Monthly combined data transfer cap.
Free cable modem supplied upon subscription. Modem was replaced for free for a better model after 3 years. This might not be the case anymore.
Must subscribe to at least one other service (cable tv, phone) from provider to be eligible to the basic monthly subscription cost, otherwise monthly cost increases significantly.
Major good point: Connection reliability and speed.
Major bad points: Email servers are often temperamental. Technical support not very good. Expensive.
Important irritant: A while ago ISP sent SPAM to subscribers and refused to stop until addressed with these magical words: "either stop or close my account"... It never happened again.

30Meg down, 3 Mg up; price is around CAN65$; around because there are some discount with getting the TV.
Speed is enough for me.
Nothing really bad to mention. Good support when I call; responsive, fast.
I'm considering moving to Bell; because some friends are happy with their new solution and it's cheaper.

Awful, awful service.
So they said they'd charge me a certain price, and then charged me 12$ a
month more. I called numerous times and each time they assured me it was a
mistake, that they would give me my money back, or that it was a billing
thing where I would get a credit next month, etc. Now that it's been long
enough since the initial phone call, they simply claim that they have no
proof of anything and therefore it's my problem.
These guys promise credits and promotions that don't exist anymore, you have
to triple check to get the real story. They tell you to email your student
card to them and that they will apply a certain credit, but don't notify you
when this proves impossible. Then, when you call to cancel your services,
they finally give you a credit to match the competitor you're going with,
but never apply it. Horrible service. If you enjoy being ripped off and
stolen from, go with Videotron.

Je suis avec Vidéotron pour mon accès internet depuis 4 ans maintenant et je dois dire que le service est, jusqu'à date, sans reproche. La vitesse est constante et à mon souvenir, je n'ai jamais eu de coupure de service.
Petit bémol cependant: l'internet HV étant le seul service que j'ai avec Vidéotron, la facture s'élève à 62,00$ par mois, ce qui est cher. Présentement, je considère changer de FAI pour cette raison.

I'm running a small business out of my home and I've been a client of Videotron's for about 7 years now. I was using Bell before, but their speeds just don't compare with Videotron.
At the moment, I have the "Ultimate Speed 30" plan which gives me 30mbps down and 2mbps up with a 120gigabyte total bandwidth cap. This costs $66.95.
I'm testing my speeds regularly and am constantly getting between 29 and 31mbps down and about 2mbps up.
I've checked other companies in the area and the only one that I seem to be able to find that compares as far as speed and price goes is Electronic Box. However, they charge $49.95 for installation which Videotron did not charge. Also, their overage fees are $2.50 per gigabyte while Videotron charge $1.50 per gigabyte.
Believe it or not, we do go over the 120 gigabyte limit every other month or so, and these charges can add up quickly.
We also have phone and cable service with videotron and are satisfied with the service in general. Bundling the three services together gets you a discount but it's ridiculously small.
Over the 7 years that I've been with this company I've had, of course, my share of frustration with tech support and/or billing issues. I have to say, however, that you're going to have these frustrations with Bell or any other company as well.
At the end of the day, I need fast Internet for my business and I can't complain about the speed and reliability.
We most definitely need more competition, since we're really being gouged.

I have a 7mbps line with a local phone line and the superbasic TV for which I pay 99CAD.
The connection is solid and reliable even at peak time, no matter the season. The phone is alright but sometimes the persons who call us are redirected to numbers that they did not dial.
The TV channels are worst than what I can receive with the room antenna.
The worst of all is the fact that they increase constantly (every year or less) the service fee for Internet but they keep very low download/upload limits (20GB download, 10GB upload with no way to use the remaining upload capacity for download). It's really ridiculous for the price and this is what makes me stay awake for any better competition.
===========================
Meanwhile I moved to Bell Canada. Had some trouble with erratic billing there but, overall, I get more bang for the buck. BTW, when I've moved, they asked me to pay ***150$*** for a contract I've never signed; I paid as requested then they referred me to some freaking company that called saying I was still owing Videotron 250$ for a modem that they have never asked it back; I returned the modem then they sent me a reviewed bill where they asked me to pay for some invented traffic that I've done two months ago.
=== Bottom line ===
I will NEVER-NEVER-NEVER do any business with Videotron again for the way they treated me after being their loyal customer (TV, internet & phone) for more than 10 years.
NEVER.
